U+18063 "𘁣" Tangut Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘁣
U+18063 "𘁣" Tangut Ideograph-# is a specific glyph from the Tangut script, a logographic writing system used to record the extinct Tangut language of the Western Xia dynasty (1038-1227 CE). This particular ideograph, like all characters in the Tangut block, represents a single syllable or morpheme, and its precise meaning and pronunciation have been reconstructed by scholars through comparative analysis of Tangut manuscripts and dictionaries, such as the "Pearl in the Palm" or "Homophones" texts. The character is part of a larger set of over 6,000 known Tangut characters, many of which remain only partially deciphered, and its inclusion in Unicode has facilitated digital preservation and study of this ancient, now-dead language.
